A weird thing happened to me after upgrading to WinXP sp2

Last night my Torque program ran fine. I upgraded to WinXP SP2 this morning. Tonight my program was crashing in a very odd place - on a line where I simply was doing an object cast from SimObject to my own subclass.

I tried turning off the 'Data Execution Prevention" mode for the application, which forced me to reboot. The program worked fine - no more crash. Then I turned DEP back on for the Torque apps and they still worked.

This may all just be coincidence but in case anyone else sees weird things I just wanted to put this out there.

OK I don't think the DEP on/off had anything to do with it, since it was only doing DEP for essential windows services before I switched the option to 'run DEP for all but the following programs'. The reboot was probably the thing that fixed it. Very odd though.
